a trick and i reports. the us a beacon of democracy and an example to be followed by the rest of the world devoted to one big source of pride is its fundamental concept of free and fair elections american elections are a disgrace it's like walking into the kitchen of a first class restaurant and losing or appetite what you see because we have an election system a voting system that is completely nontransparent an opinion shared by many political experts and educators if you were here. in a magician suit who then went behind the curtain came out having first shredded the ballots to tell you who won would you trust that process and that process largely to blame is the outdated elec tronics voting system in the states where all they have this electronic voting that could be a real problem. if you don't have some other type of backup source to verify the
2:08 am
vote count. it could be a problem read friedman is an independent award winning blogger who has covered the us election system for years he calls the problem a pandemic and says changed. it's long overdue every single state in the union uses electronic voting a third of the voters this year will vote on one hundred percent on verifiable touch screen voting systems electronic voting systems. the rest of the country by and large will vote on paper ballots but those paper ballots are also counted by electronic systems unless you can see inside a computer there is no way to know if those computers and tally those ballots correctly several experiments conducted on electronic voting machines have proven that simple keystrokes and some knowledge of science and computers could flip results the security side of the machine clears being created in numbers and insert the correct numbers experts say the accuracy of the vote count even with paper
2:09 am
trail is a myth in that ninety nine percent plus percent of the cases those ballots never see the light of day they're never examined never reach out and basically american elections at this point have virtually zero claim on public confidence and which intimacy the rules and specific ations of how elections are held very locally and state by state four thousand different counties each of them use a different type of system a different type of voting system each of them have different flaws different vulnerabilities one particular company that makes electronic voting machines in the us has earned a dubious reputation for unverifiable results as records vanish into thin air i go to an a.t.m. and it's a debug machine i get a confirmation slip and i go around the corner to vote and i you know make my vote and there's no record deeble don't other voter machine production companies are also known to have strong partisan affiliations they are not accountable to any voters. they are not just private but but private and extreme in their political
2:10 am
sympathies democrats don't actually win that many elections to be precise democrats almost never win close elections and the trick therefore is to see to it that a race. is or looks close improving the election process in this digital age doesn't appear to be on anyone's agenda including barack obama's our president call won't talk ever about election fraud and denies that it has ever happened even when you know members of his own party have been the victims of it and while the number of reported flaws grows with each passing election over the decades since two thousand when. congress was pretending to want to make things better what has happened is things have gotten much much worse it appears stealing an election in the u.s. may be a candid and certain way to secure a win it's easy as one two three in this digital age of smartphones tablets and satellite navigation systems american voters will head to the polls this november

2:12 am
very minimum they want the budget to be phrases and so that david cameron is position the government's position was that when they get to these negotiations that are happening in brussels in a couple of weeks time. the meeting with the european leaders they were going for was to have a rise in line with inflation which would have been about fifty percent well that was not good enough there was very interesting in the house of commons as we saw a lot of the m.p.'s for the first time talking and standing up for the voice of their constituents there's been a very very strong feeling that with such titles thirty measures at home people think it simply isn't fair to the to be asking for their budget increase we had one person saying not a penny more that was the message from the people that he was speaking to as he said a very very impassioned debate is not going to be binding on the prime minister but it's certainly going to be putting him under pressure when he doesn't with european

leaders in brussels later in the month. it was on c.n.n. coming up the latest standing out. controversy in purchasing bahrain defy and ban on public gatherings as the government ascension by rights groups for suppressing basic freedoms. and the first signs of friction within israel government come to light ahead of the next chairs and a election reveal why it runs becoming a stumbling block. what's the difference between a samurai sword and a blind guys walking stick well known if you're one of the cops in northern england an elderly blind architect with taser in the back because his cane looks like a sword that was used in
2:14 am
a nearby crime honest mistake because swords are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuffed youth who is shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and on any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. well

2:18 am
the problem is that over the past few months or so many people who were killed by the government. and also lots of people will be tortured in the region and there is no nothing being done. government has ensued five billion dollar just recently from the very beginning of countries just to support it in this atrocity is nearly actually the way it is is doing just. the money all over the world in the public relations just to clear. its image why it is killing its people. by foreign army actually from pakistan from all over the world. meanwhile in another gulf state kuwait security forces have clamped down on a thousand strong march against the detention of an opposition leader the crowd

2:21 am
repeatedly warned against is the nuclear capability of iran and have learned of an impending israeli strike we saw it on yahoo not so long ago at the united nations general assembly drawing a red line but what many experts here in israel say is that that was a red line by which israel would strike you ran rather than the word line in terms of a good line by which tehran would acquire nuclear capability the rock heads up his own political party and certainly what he is trying to do now is distance himself from netanyahu on the whole iran question he is trying to appeal to voters who have not yet decided and this division between them does seem to suggest brock saying that netanyahu may not have been completely truthful around the iranian nuclear threat so to me there is a division not only on this level but in the greater political elite here in israel although the question is still unanswered whether or not israel plans to strike iran and if indeed it does win policy r.t.

the muslim. surrounded by enemies the balls to be their stronghold constructed on top of the city but soon enough it became an economic hub siberian oil of its time bringing in a third of all russia's state revenue but the location head of the says for the russians are the. to moscow is one of the most popular places to send political dissent is not any people were exiled that once a giant bell that was used to incite riots was supposed to set a three hundred ten. the russian aristocrats who led a revolt against the tsar and eight hundred twenty five known as the decembrists worse than heroin drove. there they created a replica high society adopting the latest fashions as soon as they came out or at least once they made it from paris to siberia. but the city also serves up some bit of irony for the russian royal family after the bolshevik revolution. this is the
